Florida Woman

What happens when a gold-digger with a room temperature IQ absolutely cannot stop gaslighting? Today we're sticking our noses in the case of a true Florida Woman ---Dalia Mohammed Dippolito-- and the plot to murder her husband Michael.

Today we are getting freaky. Really goddamn freaky. We're turning our spotlight towards Gibsonton, FL, a humble town which rose to prominence as the winter home of the talented and clannish sideshow performers of Barnum and Bailey's circus. We explore what exactly the term "freak" entails, take a look at the murky origins of the freak show, gawk at the wretched, scarred vacancy where PT Barnum's soul ought to have been, and ponder Gibsonton's beginnings as a safe haven and place of community for the otherwise weird and outcast.

Oh, also, by listening to this podcast you now automatically have the Omicron variant of COVID-19. You're welcome.

On today's episode your humble hosts take a long reproachful gander at the man behind the Disney parks, his ALLEGED antisemitism, his desperate, craven need for good boy points, his hot, strong, loving ties to the FBI and CIA, and his penchant for snitchin' to the House Un-American Activities Committee.
